Chili Mack

Jeffrey Louis Downes (1979-), known professionally as Chili Mack, was an American rapper from Compton, California. He was born and raised on Grove Street, and one of his uncles was killed in a drive-by shooting during the gang war between the Ballas and Grove Street Families in 1992. Downes dropped out of high school and considered joining a gang, but he instead chose to rap about his struggles, and he became a gangsta rapper with the help of Blastin' Fools Records producer Jimmy Silverman. By the 2010s, he was still in the rap game, and he frequently visited his home in Grove Street.
